TRICHOTILLOMANIA-. compulsion to pull out one's hair.
Trichotillomania is a DSM-5 (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th ed.) diagnosis assigned to individuals who recurrently pull out their own hair. Individuals with trichotillomania feel compelled to pull hairs, either from their head or elsewhere, resulting in hair loss and other forms of impairment.
In some instances, hair may be manipulated or pulled out for cosmetic reasons. Individuals may remove hair to improve their physical appearance, or may twist the hair or even bite it as part of normative behavior - not to be confused with trichotillomania.
Sufferers can experience emotional distress and isolation, which increases the risk of co-occurring mental disorders. Trichotillomania can also cause individuals to become tense and put a strain on a person’s relationships with friends and family.
Someone with trichotillomania may also be susceptible to a number of physical effects, including infection, tissue damage and injuries to the muscles or joints as a result of repetitive motion. Other complications include carpal tunnel syndrome, worn or broken teeth, back, shoulder and neck pain, irreversible damage to hair growth and swollen, inflamed eyelids from where hair has been repeatedly pulled out.
Trichotillomania is an impulse control psychiatric disorder within the group of conditions known as body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs). Such conditions are characterized by self-grooming through pulling, picking, scraping or biting the hair, nails or skin, often causing damage. (The TLC Foundation for Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors 2018)
If someone is suffering from trichotillomania, they will usually display various symptoms, including: Constant pulling or twisting hair. Bald patches or hair loss. Uneven hair appearance. Denial of the hair pulling. Obstructed bowels if the hair is consumed.
Symptoms of trichotillomania usually begin before the age of 17 and many are commonly seen in children and young people.
